CLASS HISTORY Our years in the E. P. H. S. have been filled with many unforgettable moments. From the first day we entered the high school as shy and backward freshies, we were determined to gain the recognition of our upperclassmen. With this goal in mind, we settled down in a very business-like manner and elected Lois Novak as president, Donald Nystrom, vice president, and Robert Ross, treasurer. Under their leadership and the guidance of Mr. I. Edward Adler, our class sponsor, we launched our first social affair, a Hallowe'en Party. The colorfully decorated gymnasium, the delicious refreshments, and the enchanting music made our party a success! We had carved our niche in the annals of our school. As sophomores, we had gained more social esteem. We were promoted to homerooms on the second Hoor where we could mingle freely with the upperclassmen. We pledged our whole-hearted support to athletics, plays, and other activities. Under the direction of Miss Bertha Raynovich, we opened our election campaign. Results revealed Clo Wehrle as president, Walter Kaspic as vice president, Lois Novak as secretary, and james Knapp as treasurer. Under their leadership, we planned our Thanksgiving Dance which proved to be a gala event. Profits from our dance and the collection of dues swelled our treasury. We were very proud to announce that we would be the first sophomores to begin our junior year with an adequate bank balance. With this well-stocked treasury, we could entertain dreams of a gala Junior Prom. Full of spirit, a year older, and a year wiser, we returned to school and to our first major event-election of class officers! After the bal- lots had been tallied, we learned that we had elected Stanley Graham as president, Donald Nystrom as vice president, Doris Verbe and Curtis Miller as secretaries, and Lois Novak and Edward Susalla as treasurers. Under their supervision and of our advisor, Miss Blanche Peters, we made preparations for a money- raising campaign. Armed with some special hints on salesmanship, we all ventured forth to sell our wares of shamrocks, beanies, and E,s. Our sales campaign ended successfully and we turned our efforts to planning our Thanksgiving Dance. In April, we presented two plays, They Put on a Play and Little Nell, under the direction of Miss Malanos. We were very much elated to learn that we could obtain our class rings a year earlier. When the excitement of this good news abated, we began planning for our junior Prom. After many meetings, we finally decided to swing and sway to Brad Hunt's orchestra at the Hotel Schenley on May 13. It was the perfect end to a perfect year for this group of juniors. And now we were seniors! We were very near to achieving our goal-graduation! But first we intended to make the most of the year, both socially and educationally. To guide us through a year abound with many tasks, we selected Thomas Halaburka as president, Stan- ley Graham as vice president, Rita Barno as secretary, and Clo Wehrle as treasurer. Under the able supervision of Miss Keefe, class advisor, we were ready to assume leadership in school affairs. Two dances and the sale of Christmas cards improved our financial status. On December 6 our class play, june Mad, was presented under the direction of Miss Nirella. As seniors, we were charged with the duty of financing and producing the annual. We celebrated the end of a successful year on May 28, by dancing to the melodies of Tommy Carlyn's orchestra at Hotel Webster, scene of the Senior Hop. The most memorable day of our high school days was experienced the day we received our diplomas. We are prepared and we look to the future! .-26..
